…  The Author of Hebrews shows that Noah took a “leap of faith” in following God’s commands to build an ark to save Noah and his family.

My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Marvin Williams … AT THIS LINK       … reported on the saga of a Frenchman and his cat on a sailing vessel, going from an island off Alaska, bound for a harbor in San Diego, CA.  But along the way, his boat was capsized by an enormous storm and he had to call for the Coast Guard, who arranged for the sailor to be saved by an oil ship which was nearby.   But when the oil vessel came near the capsized boat, the frenchman and his cat had to take a leap of faith into the ocean for the oil boat to save them.    

And the story, according to the ODB author, Marvn Williams, was an apt illustration of what all Christians must do - by taking a leap of faith - to believe in what Jesus did on the cross and to receive God’s wondrous gift of grace to save us from Spiritual death in our sinful condition.  Personally, that’s a “leap of faith” I, most certainly, have taken to be saved by God’s grace.  How about you? 

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … Lord … for sending Your Son, Lord, to die, … for me, … on that cross.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, Lord. … giving all of us, who believe in Your saving grace, and You giving us a way to be saved by our faith in You.   … Amen
